...what do you mean by cajun-style? Nouveau Louisiana, or creole, or primarily seafood, or do you really mean traditional cajun? 'Cause you’re not going to find good cajun food downtown or in the Quarter.

some taste in food, decor, ambiance, and service. We will go to anything in the St. Louis area, preferrably in the central corridor, but absolutely not necessarily. I am trying to keep it affordable (so, no Tony's for Italian and...

Is Tony's still any good? I was going to go there the other day, and I checked their website to find their opening times. I looked at the menu, and it doesn’t seem to be as much of a soul food restaurant anymore. I see...

, Raffi’s (want to try once more and post) was booked for a private party, so we found this place. Cajun/Creole the site said, but I knew it was soul food when I saw the menu. The place belongs to 2 ladies from the city...

in the covered patio (with heat lamps) within 30 minutes of arriving. The patio was nicely toasty and quiet. You can also eat at the bar, which would normally be a good option for us, but it was full that evening. All of the food...

's a stretch of Commercial Avenue (3000 E), about a block east and a little north of Le Creole, that’s well worth a visit. I haven’t made a detailed survey of the whole area but it seems the blocks between about 87th...
